—— with nick miller. hello, october got off to a chilly start, but something a bit milder and warmerfor start, but something a bit milder and warmer for many of us over the next couple of days, initially on tuesday between these weather fronts, you can see the warm colours have started to move in. two weather fronts are close by, fair amount of cloud to be found, into northern ireland, a large part of england and wales with patchy rain and drizzle to begin tuesday, the best of the sunshine from north—east england into scotland. scotland will have the lion's share of the sunshine in the lion's share of the sunshine in the day ahead. showers rattling through the north on a strong wind and, well, when you start with cloud it should brighten up a little, but further south in northern ireland, north—west england and the west midlands, a chance of patchy rain even at this stage of the day at lipm, and it will be blustery here, the winds are stronger, further north in northern england, especially into scotland, black arrows showing the dusts into
11:31 pm
northern scotland with gusts of 60 mph and the showers rattle through quite quickly on the wind. now, as we go on through tuesday evening, well, we are going to turn things are little more chilly through eastern spots under the clear sky. but the cloud moving into the west and thickening with patchy rain and drizzle will serve to keep temperatures up. so an east—west split in temperatures as wednesday begins. now on wednesday this next weather system coming from the atla ntic weather system coming from the atlantic around the area of high pressure pushing this weather front oui’ pressure pushing this weather front our way will be the source of a fair amount of cloud and particularly through parts of northern ireland, mostly into western scotland, some patchy rain. and in north—west scotla nd patchy rain. and in north—west scotland later in the day, the rain will start to turn heavier. so, on through the day, then, cloud around wherever you are, but some bright or sunny spells and the lion's share of these will be across eastern england. let's look at how first aid is shaping up, and, well, there
11:32 pm
could be some fog to begin the day where the wind is like in southern england, slow to clear, in places, and some rain in northern ireland and some rain in northern ireland and scotland turning heavier through the day, reaching into northern england later. it will turn cooler through the weekend, low pressure close by, some of us, but not all could see some heavy rain. we will keep you updated on that. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: 200,000 people in need of urgent help, and more than 800 confirmed dead, after an earthquake and tsunami hit indonesia. the chancellor, philip hammond, joins senior ministers in urging tory party delegates to support the prime minister's chequers plan for brexit. president trump authorises the fbi to expand its investigation into allegations of sexual assault against his supreme court nominee, brett kavanagh, according to the new york times. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:33 pm
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the business journalistjohn crowley, and the head of news at huffpost uk, jess brammar. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages: the guardian leads on calls for tory mps to unite around the prime minister ahead of borisjohnson‘s speech at the conservative party conference, seen by some as laying the groundwork for a possible leadership challenge. now it's uncivil war, says the daily mirror, which features a picture of boris johnson running through a field of wheat, in what the paper says was a mocking effort to recreate what theresa may once described as her naughtiest childhood moment. the times leads on brexit,
11:34 pm
with reports the prime minister is preparing to keep the uk in the customs union until a solution to the problem of the irish border is found, and describes the move as a significant concession to the eu. "migration revolution" is the headline for the daily mail, which says a new visa scheme will mean far fewer lower—skilled workers from the eu will be allowed into the uk after brexit. the daily express says british citizens can expect radical tax cuts if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. the daily telegraph splashes on new plans by the government to ensure that patients who visit their gp with possible signs of cancer get a diagnosis within three weeks. the metro says rail passengers will be soon be able to claim compensation for delays with just one click on their smartphones, in new proposals set out by the transport secretary. and the financial times reports on general electric‘s decision to replace its chief executive. so different front pages, but i
11:35 pm
think it is fair to say that the headlines are full of conservative party wa rfa re, headlines are full of conservative party warfare, boris johnson headlines are full of conservative party warfare, borisjohnson and brexit. let's start with the times, and an interesting story. theresa may agrees curbs on trade to break brexit deadlock, which the times saysis brexit deadlock, which the times says is a significant concession to the eu. what is your take? 50 this the eu. what is your take? so this appears to be coming from number ten sources, no one is appears to be coming from number ten sources, no one is actually speaking on the record but apparently what theresa may is now considering after her humiliation in salzburg, she has given more concessions to the eu. so after the transition arrangement finishes in december 2020, the uk will still abide by certain customs rules. and if you are a brexiteer
11:36 pm
ball, this is a red flag to you because it will not allow the uk to go on strike their own free—trade agreements with other countries. of course, the brexiteers now advocating a canada plus or super canada type deal which is a deal that canada struck with the eu, a much looser trading arrangement. what the brexiteers say is that would be half in and half out, so we will have two abide by eu rules but we won't be able to affect them, because we are outside the eu. what do you make of the timing of this, coming ahead of theresa may's conference speech on wednesday? well, the timing is, after salzburg last week, basically she is trying to regain some control over the situation after a completely humiliating, disastrous episode that. and build some bridges, and they have called it a grand bargain. so the hope is that this will suggest that she has a plan to deal with where she ended up last week. i
11:37 pm
think it is interesting, as well, in the context of boris, who is going to pop up at a fringe event ahead of her speech in the main hall, with 1000 people in the speech, saying something very different which we will get onto shortly. i think the timing is clearly smacked rank in the middle of all of those things going on. well, let's take our cue from you and move on to the telegraph, which has johnson from you and move on to the telegraph, which hasjohnson warns tories not to quote unquote eight corbyn, to raise taxes to pay for public services —— ape corbyn. corbyn, to raise taxes to pay for public services -- ape corbyn. this is the boris show and it is rolling in the town in birmingham tomorrow. the picture on loads of the front pages kind of sums it up. it is virus accidentally being spotted sort of gambling through a wheat field, we are supposed to believe that somewhere he regularly goes for
11:38 pm
a run, it is clearly a jibe at theresa may and tomorrow's speech will be all about setting himself up in opposition to the cabinet he was inafew in opposition to the cabinet he was in a few months ago, and the prime minister. john, what is your take on borisjohnson? minister. john, what is your take on boris johnson? it is minister. john, what is your take on borisjohnson? it is interesting he has used that phrase, don't ape corbyn, isn't it? yes, ithink has used that phrase, don't ape corbyn, isn't it? yes, i think the conservatives have been a little bit spooked by the labour conference last week, where the policies that he put forward were not business friendly at all, but they were quite populist and it went down quite well. let's not forget the labour party over the summer had a terrible time over the accusations, founded, in my opinion, over anti—semitism. but it seemed that there was a little bit of socialist, marxist unity in force last week when no one stuck their heads above the parapet too much, at least. and i think with the chancellor that this is a kind of shot across the boughs of philip
11:39 pm
hammond. he has to look down the sofa and find £20 billion to pay for the nhs, because if you remember earlier this year this huge nhs crisis over looking after patients, and so forth, and they were right at the edge, and the tories, as well, didn't want to be outflanked by labour on the nhs. theyjust said we will give £20 billion by 2023. they have to find some money down the back of the sofa, a lot of money, andi back of the sofa, a lot of money, and i think philip hammond is looking at various tax measures such as the freeze on tax duties, which have been frozen for the last eight yea rs. have been frozen for the last eight years. what is quite interesting is that they didn't give much away, the budget is coming up on 29 october where you would expect a lot more policies will be unveiled, but philip hammond gave in summer rae gave an indication that taxes will have to rise —— philip hammond gave an indication. either way, a
11:40 pm
conservative government might have to raise taxes as well. let's turn page two of the sun, the same picture of gambling in the whitfield, but the six—month brexit delay, part of borisjohnson's bid to become prime minister. this is an interesting story. the suggestion is that he is drumming up support for his big prime ministerial project in the first thing he wants to do was delayed brexit by six months to effectively put a stop on the negotiations to try to get back on the front foot. it is not going to the front foot. it is not going to the ghillie well so far, you could say, i suppose. the ghillie well so far, you could say, isuppose. it the ghillie well so far, you could say, i suppose. it is interesting because perhaps boris is the only one who could do this, it is a kind of nixon in china thing. he is such a brexiteer that maybe he could get away with it. ifind it hard a brexiteer that maybe he could get away with it. i find it hard to believe it would raise the hackles of other brexiteers, because he is
11:41 pm
delaying getting us out of the eu, but maybe borisjohnson could get away with that, i don't know. or a mac he is not short on self—confidence and i believe he could do it. apparently this has come through another cabinet minister, because boris is doing the rounds, trying to drum up support and say i am going to go back to the eu. of course he thinks i could do a betterjob than theresa may. she has given in on so many things. look at the front page of the times. and i will strike a much tougher deal as we get into... as we renegotiate the deal. it is interesting that the front page of the guardian, although it does carry that same picture, no mention ofjeremy corbyn, no mention of borisjohnson. mention ofjeremy corbyn, no mention of boris johnson. it mention ofjeremy corbyn, no mention of borisjohnson. it is the focus on ruth davidson. yes, so ruth davidson, kind of a darling of the remainers in the conservative party, very much to the left. but can we alljust get along and back
11:42 pm
remainers? yes, ok. —— back theresa may? it feels like it is not working. it is a kind of beauty pageant in the papers today, various ministers trying to say please vote for me. we will talk about them in a few minutes as well. ruth davidson has been talked up as a potential tory leader. she says she doesn't wa nt tory leader. she says she doesn't want thejob. tory leader. she says she doesn't want the job. and she also needs to get a seat down south, so to speak, as an mp. she is also a darling of the remainers but she did say at co nfe re nce the remainers but she did say at conference that she is not backing a second referendum. lots of remainers will be disappointed by that, because even non— tories find her quite palatable as potential leader. she gave a speech, did she? no, eight think she was speaking to the media. —— i think. eight think she was speaking to the media. -- i think. we are returning to the times again now. hunt accused
11:43 pm
of putting ambition above country with soviet jibe. this of putting ambition above country with sovietjibe. this was a somewhat confrontational address, when he made his speech yesterday comparing the eu to the soviet union. yes, it is a really good example of that sort of beartrap of conference, you are speaking to the whole, to a domestic audience, to your own people, and you talk it up —— speaking to the hall. he made this comment comparing the eu to the soviet union, which presumably was rapturously accepted in the whole and —— in the halland has rapturously accepted in the whole and —— in the hall and has gone down very badly in the eu. lots of eu leaders pointed out that they grew up leaders pointed out that they grew up under the soviet union, and it was considerably worse than the eu. one person in particular is the latvian european commissioner for health, who wrote on twitter, dear jeremy hunt, i was born in a soviet
11:44 pm
gulag, which when you are getting to the point where that is the response to something that the foreign secretary has said, it is not going very well. do you agree with the times that he said... the question is why did he say it? —— the times. do you agree he is putting ambition above country? it is part of conference, has just above country? it is part of conference, hasjust said, you above country? it is part of conference, has just said, you send out a hard message in the conference. it was clearly badly misjudged, the comment, and coming after boris, of course, as foreign secretary, we thought we would get a more conciliatory foreign secretary, and he went tojapan, more conciliatory foreign secretary, and he went to japan, gave more conciliatory foreign secretary, and he went tojapan, gave an erudite speech injapanese, was gladhanding people around europe, fellow ministers around europe over the summer, over the chequers plan, and it just seems the summer, over the chequers plan, and itjust seems old for him to do this. i wouldn't have expected him to try and do this. it is a real
11:45 pm
footin to try and do this. it is a real foot in mouth moment. i think he is keeping quite low profile at conference today as a result. keeping quite low profile at conference today as a resultm keeping quite low profile at conference today as a result. it is interesting, because as you say it is quite awe as johnson interesting, because as you say it is quite awe asjohnson in nature, andl is quite awe asjohnson in nature, and i feel if this was boris he would laugh it off and get away with it. it will be interesting to see if it. it will be interesting to see if it has any impact onjeremy hunt's reputation. was he trying to be boris to emulate his reputation. reputation. was he trying to be boris to emulate his reputationlj think boris to emulate his reputation.” thinkjeremy boris to emulate his reputation.” think jeremy hunt has boris to emulate his reputation.” thinkjeremy hunt has said there is no vacancy thinkjeremy hunt has said there is no vacancy at the moment, i don't believe any senior politician that says they don't have leadership ambitions. i don't understand why you would go into politics if you don't. michael heseltine said i can't foresee the situation arising, which is in denial, and i think they would stand by that. —— isn't a denial. striking headline in the mail, migration revolution, according to the mail, fewer low skilled workers will be allowed in from europe after brexit. this is a pledge from
11:46 pm
theresa may and sajid javid. well, it is sajid javid who is speaking to the conference tomorrow, the home secretary, and low and behold another person who is perhaps trying to burnish their leadership credentials by speaking to the wall and what's interesting is sajid javid was born in rochdale, the son of pakistani immigrants, his dad was a bus driver, had quite a tough upbringing with his brothers, and obviously has gone on to great success. he is very much in the thatcherite camp in terms where he stands in the conservative party. and he was saying, so after, what was it, 2020, you know, all people in the eu who want to come, 3 million people, that has been agreed, that was agreed last december with the northern ireland backstop, but other immigrants will not now be allowed in and they will
11:47 pm
stop low paid immigrants from returning, so it is quite an interesting thing for him to say. what he does have the backing of is mrs may, who backed up his comments, so unlike others he is not going off—piste, he is in sync with the prime ministerfor now. off—piste, he is in sync with the prime minister for now.” off—piste, he is in sync with the prime minister for now. i would like to move onto another story, if you mind, back to the telegraph, actually, this is the headline, natasha's law on food labelling to prevent allergy deaths, proposed food safety rules from michael gove, the environment secretary, of course in light of the tragic death of natasha and in the la perouse who had an allergic reaction to negotiate. it has been the most terrible story, and seeing her pa rents terrible story, and seeing her parents who have been out doing interviews today and the dignity with which she... it is just such an
11:48 pm
heartbreaking story. her mother held the phone to her ear and it wasjust absolutely dreadful. and what michael gove is saying is he is going to look at closing a loophole in the law that would mean that would mean cafes and restaurants have to be more explicit about the ingredients of their food, putting all the ingredients on the packaging evenif all the ingredients on the packaging even if the food is made in—house. it strikes me that it is not going to bea it strikes me that it is not going to be a big problem for people. i think the story has had real cut through. we have had a few of these stories are the last year of people who have ended up dying after nut allergies and things like that, i think there was one from a takeaway. this story in particular, i don't know if it's because her parents have spoken so eloquently, it has cut through to the public and i imagine the public will probably be on the side of this law change if they decide to bring it in. and i think michael gove has proposed that they might call it natasha's law. let's turn back to the times, we are
11:49 pm
shuffling papers like mad tonight, aren't we, and the scientist tells women they are not suited to physics, professor talking at a conference on science, saying that physics was invented by an. yes, absolutely straightfaced, jaw hits the ground moment, from the university of pisa he said physics was built by men, it is not by invitation and blamed cultural marxism for a doctrine in ideology. he said he was working off data. like any physicist, he claims he was working off the fax, and i would love to see the chart on that. we we re love to see the chart on that. we were saying early on there are so many august kind of women scientists, physicists, who come and
11:50 pm
gone, which completely disproves his argument, and he has backed it up, i mean, he spoke with several papers saying, yes, iwasn't mean, he spoke with several papers saying, yes, i wasn't misquoted, mean, he spoke with several papers saying, yes, iwasn't misquoted, i still believe this. he is amazing, well, not amazing, still believe this. he is amazing, well, notamazing, i still believe this. he is amazing, well, not amazing, i shouldn't say, it is interesting that he says he is standing by his comments even if it means it ruined his career. the data thing is interesting, isn't it, because if it is the fact there are more male physicists and it was invented and built by men, that's probably true because women have been quite busy in the last 100 years doing other things, like bringing up children, sol years doing other things, like bringing up children, so i am dubious of the idea that he based it on facts because clearly they are completely selective. it would be funny if it was not so depressing. and if you demonise woman it becomes a self—fulfilling prophecy, if you are speaking to a group of women saying, yes, don't do physics, i am more intelligent than you, what message does it send? i don't want
11:51 pm
to, a, spend time with people like you in this profession and it puts me off it. on that rather bleak note, we must end it. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, john crowley and jess brammar, and from us all, goodnight. and thank you for watching. good evening. here's your latest sports news: bournemouth have kept up their great start to the premier league season with a 2—1win over crystal palace at the vitality stadium. the home side went in front through summer signing david brooks — it's the wales international‘s

11:55 pm
of the fight. this is a huge fight. brazil's maya gabeira has set a new world record for the largest ever wave surfed by a female. the 31—year—old conquered the giant 20 point 72—metre wave in portugal back injanuary this year, but the record was only officially announced on monday. the achievement was declared at a special ceremony overlooking the waves at nazare where the record was set, with an adjudicator from guinness world records presenting her with the official certificate. that is phenomenal, isn't it? i don't know how she had the nerve to don't know how she had the nerve to do that. is all the sport for now. october got off to a rather chilly start, but something milder and warmerfor many start, but something milder and warmer for many of us over the next couple of days, initially on tuesday between these weather fronts, you can see the warm colours have
11:56 pm
started to move in. weird because two weather fronts are close by and it has to be set a fair amount of cloud to begin the day stretching from northern ireland into england and wales with some patchy rain and drizzle to begin tuesday. the best of the sunshine from north—east england and into scotland. which will see the lion's share of the sunshine in the day ahead. and where we start with cloud, it should brighten up a little bit, but further south into north—west england and the west midlands, a chance of seeing patchy rain even at this stage of the day at four p.m.. and it will be blustery here, the winds are stronger, further north in northern england, especially into scotland, black arrows showing the gusts into northern scotland with gusts of 60 mph and the showers rattle through quite quickly on the wind. now, as we go on through tuesday evening, well, we are going to turn things a little more chilly
11:57 pm
through eastern spots under the clear sky. but the cloud moving into the west and thickening with patchy rain and drizzle will serve to keep temperatures up. so an east—west split in temperatures as wednesday begins. now on wednesday this next weather system coming from the atlantic around the area of high pressure pushing this weather front our way will be the source of a fair amount of cloud, and particularly through parts of northern ireland, but mostly into western scotland, some patchy rain. and in north—west scotland later in the day, the rain will start to turn heavier. so, on through the day, then, cloud around wherever you are, but some bright or sunny spells and the lion's share of these will be across eastern parts of england. let's look at how thursday is shaping up, and, well, there could be some fog to begin the day where the wind is light in southern england, slow to clear, in places, and some rain in northern ireland and scotland turning heavier through the day, some might be reaching into northern england later.
11:58 pm
